Taiwanese fried oysters (台灣蚵仔酥) is also known as salt and pepper oysters, popcorn oysters or basil fried oysters. It is a traditional and popular Taiwan street snack (台灣小吃). This is a simple recipe with only a few ingredients to recreate the dish. If you love oysters, you have to try this!

It is very easy to make, if you don’t mind deep-frying. The key ingredients are minimal and the seasonings are simple (just salt and white pepper). You can also experiment with bolder seasonings such as chilli (cayenne) powder, seaweed powder or garlic powder, though my personal favourite is still the good old salt & pepper.

The only oyster dish I did not enjoy in Taiwan is oyster omelette. Our local version is much better! But I heart most of their other oyster dishes such as oyster mee sua, fried oysters and seafood porridge!
